Changes the look of the rear end quite a bit. I don't think I'd do it to mine, but I like it.

Looks good...Only gripe I have is Weapon X needs to come out with and included the painted diffuser extensions. You can tell this is made for a C7 with the little 1inch plastic extension still being black.

I guess I'm not following, if he wanted to paint the OEM one red he would've. As for being made for a C7, the C7 and C7 Z06 part is the exact same. Those little add on pieces are what GM used to bridge the wider vents.

Um, what? How can you tell how well it's made from one pic on the internet?

I installed the Carbon Fiber version on mine 6 months ago, and can assure you there's nothing "cheaply made" about it. It's a very high quality piece.

Looks good! I'm thinking about doing something similar to mine when it comes in. The red looks good, hopefully vy would look good the same way.

I have some of the WeaponX aero parts as well, and can tell you they are anything but cheaply made. Ben's a stand up guy, doing a stand up business making quality parts.

Can someone make one for two exhaust tips? The 4 in the center has been carried on too long, need something different like rectangle or just two

Looks good OP, glad to see her standing out
